These plastic grit bins are built with a rigid outer structure intended to withstand frequent handling and challenging environments. The durable moulded body resists cracking, corrosion, and weathering, making it a practical alternative to metal storage in exposed settings.
Typical applications include:
• Highway verges and priority gritting routes
• Car parks and retail service areas
• Public realm walkways and transport interchanges
• Schools, universities, and healthcare estates
• Housing developments and shared access roads
The bin incorporates a strong through-rod hinge mechanism, providing additional resistance against misuse and vandalism. This reinforced design supports consistent opening and closing during high-demand winter periods.
For sites requiring controlled access, a grit bin with lock can be specified to help prevent unauthorised use or contamination of stored materials.
With a generous 169 litre capacity, this unit is frequently specified as one of Broxap’s dependable salt bins for storing road salt, sand, or grit mixes. The enclosed format helps protect contents from excess moisture, supporting effective spreading and reducing waste.
